Beta C-Mag, Just wanting Input of thoughts of reliability.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

Just wondering what the over all thoughts and experiences are of those that own one.

What cailber and for what gun? I have one for my AR's and one for MP5 and they both run perfectly. Just put some graphite lube in before you load them and you are good to go. Beta mag dumps make me happy.

Let me ask you, how long have you had one loaded before you used it? Time period sensitive?

[Jasongar8]

I had one loaded for around 10 months and pulled it out and it shot fine. One thing I will tell you is if you get the clear back it will turn dark grey when you use the graphite lube. Also too many consecutive Beta dumps will blow up your gas tube, lol.

As long as you don't drop it or bang it against stuff it will work fine. Keep it clean and only use the graphite lube. The main problem isn't reliability, but durability. If you drop a fully-loaded Beta-C on a hard surface, there is a good chance that something will break. That was the military's reason for not buying very many of them.

If you shoot a lighter-weight barrel from a bipod, your point of impact will shift a bit between when the Beta-C is full and when it's almost empty.

For fun, it's hard to beat, though!!!

I have one for my bushmaster. It's great. You can leave it loaded indefinately and it's 100% reliable. 100 rounds of 223 on tap is nice.
